One page or two? I have 7 years of experience and struggle to fit everything on one page.

With 7 years, two pages is perfectly fine. Focus on the last 3-4 years in detail and summarize earlier experience. Quality over quantity!

The tip about quantifying results changed everything. Instead of "worked on API" I now write "built REST API serving 10K requests/min". Much more impactful!
